There is truly nothing as great as when one of our faves coversanother one of our fave's new work, and this time, it's Shawn Mendes doing an acoustic set of one of Drake's newest, "Fake Love." Shawn appeared on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge yesterday for the performance, and we have to call it like we see it: he absolutely slayed.

Though the song was originally recorded as a rap, Shawn twisted it to sound more like indie pop. He doesn't shy away from rapping either, but he does it with enough of a cadence to his voice that fit Drizzy's lyrics perfectly.

This isn't the first time that Shawn has taken on a Drake cover. Back in May, he posted a mash-up of "One Dance" and "Marvin's Room," and yes, it went pretty much exactly how it sounds it would, which is that we smiled, we cried, we fought the urge to text an ex.
